About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Stay Inside Yosemite National Park! No separate park reservation required.

IMPORTANT: We do not accept third party bookings. The person whose name is on the reservation must be staying at the property.

We no longer accept dogs or any pets, no exceptions.

Pricing is $390.00 base price for up to 2 guests. $40.00 per night for each additional guest per night after the first 2 guests. Children under age 3 stay free, 10% discount on one week stays. (Please let us know if any of your children are aged 3 and under when you fill out the inquiry form.) Minimum stay of 2 nights.

Minimum age of primary renter: 25.

INTERNET AND CELL SERVICE: we have Starlink wifi but no satellite TV (though we do have a DVD library), because trees around the house block satellite reception from the South sky. Wifi speed may sometimes be affected by trees around the house. There is spotty cell service in Yosemite West.

Yosemite West is inside Yosemite National Park. It is a 25-35 minutes drive to Yosemite Valley attractions, 30 minutes to Glacier Point and 30 minutes to Mariposa Grove and Wawona. This is also the closest lodging for Badger Pass Ski Area, with downhill and cross country skiing and snowshoeing - only eight miles away from your door.

This Yosemite West home is located close to the Glacier Point Road, so you are very close to Taft Point and Glacier Point, the most spectacular views of Yosemite Valley.

This house sleeps a maximum of 8 - 10 people. Please note if you have a larger group that this house has 1 1/2 bathrooms, and only 1 shower. If you prefer 2 showers, please check out our other Yosemite West rental cabin, the Hummingbird Pines House (VRBO 470093).

The Hummingbird Raven House has a spacious deck high in the trees which is a wonderful place to eat dinner and enjoy the sunset.

Please note that our house has a spiral staircase which may be difficult for elderly folks and small children. Our other Yosemite West vacation home, the Hummingbird Pines House (VRBO 470093) is more suited to elderly guests as it has only 2 steps into the house and bedrooms on the ground floor.

If our cabin and Yosemite are accessible, we do not cancel, modify, or refund reservations based on smoke, which is a very common occurrence in Yosemite each summer. This policy is consistent with most vacation rentals in Yosemite West.

The master bedroom has a king size bed and a half bath. Upstairs are two additional bedrooms, with a queen size bed and four bunks. A convertible sofa-bed in the office sleeps 1 to 2 more guests. Note: we cannot accommodate more than 10 guests at a time.

This house is equipped with a full kitchen and a large dining table. There is a bbq and dining furniture on the deck, which is a wonderful place to enjoy dinner and watch the sunset.

Air conditioning is individually controlled through a mini-split system controlled by remotes in each room. Our location is 6,000 feet of elevation, so generally is cooler than Yosemite Valley.
Our customers tell us that they enjoy the helpful staff at this holiday home. During your stay, you're just a quick walk from Sierra National Forest. You'll find features such as laundry facilities. Enjoy your stay with amenities like free WiFi and a kitchen in the holiday home.

Awesome stay!

We had a great stay at the Hummingbird Cabin! Its proximity to the Yosemite Valley was awesome, amenities were great (updated appliances and AC in all bedrooms), and the place was cozy and comfortable. Dining on the deck was incredibly enjoyable and access to the park was super easy. Thanks for a great stay!

The property was in such a great location of the park- equal distance to glacier point, down to the Yosemite village area, and mariposa grove. The hosts were very kind and responsive and sent lots of recommendations in the area. Check in was easy and straight forward. Kitchen had all of the basics for cooking - tons of glassware and cooking pots/pans. Outdoor deck was super nice and we loved having grill access! We had a few minor complaints- the outlets were loose and could not hold any plugs, master bedroom had a half bath with no privacy and the vanity didn’t work, spotty WiFi, toilet seat in main bathroom should be replaced as outer seal is worn off in places. Would have liked a coffee table in main area. AC and heat were great and beds were good too

Beautiful, comfortable, close to Yosemite destinations!

Great place to stay within Yosemite’s borders. Comfortably housed our family of 7 for a week. You will love the tranquility and closeness to all of Yosemite’s beauty! One word to the wise: stock up before you arrive, the nearest large grocery store is an hour away, but if you are like us, the closeness to nature is why you are even considering this beautiful property!!! A wonderful stay in every way!

Great location to main attractions: 25-30 minute drive to Yosemite Valley, Wawona, Glacier Point. Nice comfortable cabin for a family or group. Was there during the week and it was very quiet area. Inside the park, so no need to exit and make insane line to get back in.

Broken screens, broken lights, actual threadbare sheets, no promised landline, phone did not call US area codes 301 or 510 (no cell service at this property), worn and dirty wall to wall carpet, mice in the walls, actual mice running about on living room carpet… this place has it all!It does have a beautiful deck. I communicated with the owners. They were unhelpful and clearly hadn’t inspected their property carefully. For example, there was no stairway lighting. In the daylight, that’s fine. At night on a spiral staircase, that’s awful. Look elsewhere.

Yosemite

The property was clean. Simplistic. A bit aged and worn. The kitchen had all the utensils and appliances one would need. Everything was convenient and met our needs other than no internet connection and no sponges or brushes to facilitate cleaning up in the kitchen. The downstairs master lacks a shower or bath, and there is a small spiral staircase to the second floor where the full bath and other rooms are located. The stairs are rather slippery and need a non slip pad, especially jf one is only wearing socks. The house requires you to bring your own soaps and shampoo for the bathroom. Previous guests have left some pantry items as the host foes not iffer any. The setting was pleasant among the trees in a neighborhood setting with houses near by. We were about a half hour from Yosemite valley, an easy drive. Heating and air in each room worked well once we figured that out. The home could use guest instructions since without the internet, VRBO access was non existent.

Bummed

Trip was perfect but house had no lock on patii door so, not secure. And carpeting and supplied towels and cooking supplies need to be in a landfill. Rot on bottom of microwave left it unusable for safety reasons. I see 2 years ago someone complained about the rusty microwave and people keep using it? Over all felt pretty gross for what we paid.

Hot temps in Yosemite

We had great clean cabins. Unlucky for us - the temps demanded some AC and we had none. I know this is not normal for this area. Also we were there with multiple family members - 6 cabins in all and were a little too far apart in this very mountainous area to do family well. No cell or WiFi made our plans for dinner and sharing time a bit more difficult and the house phone never worked. I loved the clean and wonderful cabins but would probably not book again for these reasons. Thank you to Michelle for helping us book this time together and for her responses to all our questions. I would recommend this to a single family who did not need to communicate with the outside world or to other cabins and during a cooler season. Very clean and very well maintained cabin, stocked with all the necessary items.

HOT

Yosemite NP is a fantastic place. This place is in a great location. Unfortunately, it was extremely hot outside and inside. I wish we could have gotten the temperature below 85 inside the house - but there was no relief. We enjoyed almost every area of Yosemite while there, easy access daily, already inside the park to minimize lines/waiting. We were up early each day and home late - so much to do in the park. Just wish we could have slept, but it was too hot.

Adequate - Needs TLC

I would describe the house as, “adequate, and in need of a little TLC.” It is about a 30 or so minute drive into Yosemite Valley, where many of the sights to take in are. The kitchen is well equipped for cooking with about anything you’d need to cook and serve multiple guests. Take all of your own food, spices, oils, coffee, tea, or anything else you’ll need to cook. The gas grill on the porch was good to use and eating out there was nice. The sky at night was perfectly clear and so dark that you could see the Milky Way galaxy. The furniture and rugs on top of the carpet are all dated. The rug in the living area by the door outside was dirty and dusty. The living room rug buckles up and is a tripping hazard. Dust flew up from the couch when you hit it with your hand. The door mat on the porch into the house looked decades old. Several windows won’t open and that makes flow-through ventilation impossible; no air conditioning (as advertised) and with a heat wave (97 degrees at the house) the house wasn’t cool in the day, but “manageable” I guess. I’m not sure my wife agreed though even with the fans. The clothes dryer did not work and I sent text messages to the host as well as a housekeeper and never heard back. We had to hang the wet clothes on the balcony rail to dry. The house met our needs as a place to sleep. Without updates, however, we would not stay here again.

Wow! Yosemite West gem!!!!

We had an amazing stay at Hummingbird Raven House. It was perfect for our family of four. Extremely nice to have as much space as we explored Yosemite NP.for three days. The location is superb, close to the Valley, but also much closer to other key places like Glacier Point, and Wawona/Mariposa. The house was very well kept, with great amenities, beautiful property. Everything functioned well. The communication with the property owners was very detailed and thorough. They were extremely kind and provided excellent information on the park and day trip ideas. We really love our stay here and would gladly stay here again. Definitely would recommend this place to couples, families, friends as your headquarters for an amazing Yosemite stay!!!
